How to make your photos available here

Here is a brief step by step method to make your photos available to this web site, through the use of the Google Picasaweb photo publishing tool. This is not too complex, but if you are not comfortable with working on the computer or web, ask one of your younger computer savvy relatives or friends to help you with these instructions.

First, be aware that everything we publish here is available to the public. So keep your photos tasteful, as well as legal. We expect all photos to be about the Hancock Reunion or family. Please include captions and descriptions, as noted in the instructions below. The Hancock family is large, and many of us may not recognize the people in your pictures.

If you do not have an account on Google, create one for yourself. Then come back to Picasaweb and login.

Follow the Picasa instructions to upload and share your photos:

Click on the Upload button at the top of the page.

In the pop up window, type in the information requested to name, date and describe the photo album you are going to upload. Note you must select "Public" for the photos to be published on the HancockReunion.org web site. Then click continue.

You may be prompted to install an activeX control to upload photos. You may choose to do so, or you can click on "Basic Upload" to upload files without activeX controls.
